You need to submit the off campus proctor request form only once during each semester unless you must change your off-campus proctor. Note: You will need to submit a new off-campus proctor request form each semester even if
your off-campus proctor does not change from semester to semester.

Non-Gulf Coast State College proctors may charge a proctoring fee, which is not reimbursed
by Gulf Coast State College or the Testing Center. Please contact your selected off-campus
